Topic: Bruins Playoff Support Thread (Read 10501 times)

It's playoff time around these parts, and that deserves most of our attention. The Sox are sucking so obviously people will also be griping about that. We can't forget about our roommates at the Garden, the Bruins. The playoffs start tomorrow and it is very exciting.

The Garden would be a magical place if both teams go far into the playoffs. They can feed off of each other and the city from night to night. Here's hoping the B's go far, and that they crush those [dang] Canadiens in the first round.

You get a TP from me now and for every Bruins playoff game win. I should have done this thread sooner, and I can't wait for Thursday!

LET'S GO BRUINS!

I love playoff hockey. I hope they play the Flyers in the next round, so that I can get to a game. Past playoff failures have conditioned me to have low expectations, but I love this group of players. Go, Bruins!

All the negativity in this town sucks. It sucks, and it stinks, and it sucks. - Rick Pitino

Another playoff series against the Habs? That's the one team I never want to see in the playoffs. I don't care how good the Bruins are playing, I always feel like they're the underdogs in this rivalry - I'll be happy if they can make it out of the first round. Honestly, I gave up on the Bruins a while ago - just no continuity with the players, no one like Bourque or Neely that can sustain themselves as the face of the franchise for a decade or longer - but that's more of a testament to the new NHL than the team, I suppose.

I support the Penguins, a franchise that, through extreme luck in draft lotteries, has thrived as a blue collar sport in a blue collar town. If Fleury can stay hot (or at least just not revert to his early-season form) then they've got a legit chance to make it back to the Finals.

Great game last night. Lot of emotion out there. Bruins looked flat in the 2nd period and the first part of the third but they really turned it up a notch in the last 10 minutes or so. Montreal really strugged to get it into Boston's zone and that power play goal by Chara was a laser. It's great to have playoff hockey here.

Missed the first game, do you guys know if these games will be nationally televised? Last year it was very dificult to catch a game on tv.

Not all of them, unfortunately. It's disgusting the lack of NHL coverage there is.

The NHL pulls down XFL style ratings when nationally broadcast. I don't blame the major networks for turning them down when they can show a poker tournament which would secure the same ad revenue for 1/10th of the cost. While it sucks for the fans, I think it's good for hockey in general - bump the sport down the national rankings, force the teams to reconnect with their blue collar fans, and rebuild the connections they lost through the lockout.

I like how this is going to work out. Here's hoping there's 15 more. Solid game last night. I was a little worried when they came out flat in the beginning of the third but overall they were clearly the better team on the ice.
